It seems to me that the "search in current buffer" command should
automatically trigger the loading of additional messages when no
results are found so that it can continue searching.

What just happened to me is that I *knew* my inbox contained a message
with a particular string in the subject, but I couldn't find it with
'/'. The problem was that enough new threads had arrived that the
message of interest wasn't loaded yet.

The fact that the various ThreadIndexModes don't load all relevant
threads is just an optimization, but I don't think it should change
the semantics of a search operation. (My thread *is* still in my inbox
even if it hasn't been loaded.)

Of course, for the feature I want to work well there needs to be an
easy way to interrupt the searching and loading if it's going on too
long, (say, I mistyped the search string and I know it's likely to
load a million messages without ever finding the string I typed).

Does sup already have a notion like emacs' "C-g" which is used to
cancel or interrupt any ongoing command?
